Oh...life before Computers? Indeed. It is not personal life that has been impacted as much as my business life!

When I got my first job in the lending business we had no computer (we had an older lady named Martha who was our "bookkeeper"), no fax machine, and rotary dial telephones. Dealers we financed for would call in applications and we would have to write down all the information to complete an application as they dictated it. Then our "credit processor" would call the credit bureau and they would dictate a report.

Now, my brokers submit their loans on line and I have to get nline to see what they sent in and to see the results from my underwriters...all of which just takes a few hours.

The revolution that computers and elerctronic communication created in business is beyond amazing. I simplky could not function today without my cell phone, blackberry, and pocket PC. Not to mention my IO pen that downloads all my notes I have written that day and converts them to text. In my wildest dreams, I never imagined all that just 20 some odd years ago.
